Removing Blocking From Programs
To remove blocking from programming, follow the same steps in the previous
procedure: “Selecting Programs To Be Blocked on the DVR.” The process you
follow to remove blocking is essentially the same as the process for selecting
programs to be blocked. When you remove blocking from programs, the
Closed Lock symbol is removed to indicate that the programming is no
longer selected for blocking. The feature is automatically activated as a
precaution when you press the power button on the front of the DVR.
